Sexual Health Does cuddling mean anything? Does hand holding while sleeping?
Anonymous
I've hooked up with this guy a couple of times and he always spends the night after but we never cuddle. But last night we were texting and he asked if I wanted to come over. Clearly a booty call as it was like 1am. I went over, and afterwards I was wondering whether to leave or stay. He said he really didn't care but that I should just stay as it was so late. I ended up staying and we ended up just cuddling all night. Literally all night. Anytime I would try to move for a little space, he'd wrap me up in a bear hug. Eventually, he gave me some space but he then held my hand for the rest of the night while we slept. And then when I woke up this morning, he was playing with my hair and holding my hand. We caught the subway together this morning as he works near where I go to school. He was already running late and I'd forgotten my pass, but he waited for me to buy a ticket - even missing a train - just so we could go together. But when we got off the train he just gave me a hug and said it was fun. That was it. I feel like it's really mixed signals. Does any of this mean anything? I'm really confused. I've been starting to catch feelings for him, but wasn't a 100% sure how I felt. Now I'm even more confused.

What Girls & Guys Said
17 24It probably doesn't mean anything. I know how confusing ot can be. I had a friends with benefits that I would cuddle and hold hands with overnight and inwould almost catch feelings every time. Oddly it meant nothing to her. Just a warm body.
I dont get why it mixed signals? If i am just having casual sex with a girl why can't i cuddle with her or hold her hand or be a generally nice guy? If i have casual sex with a girl am i obligated to treat her like shit? very odd
I wouldn't care about a booty call. You already gave me what I wanted, why give a shit about a slut
What do we have here? Either: A) a troll, or B) a misogynistic peace of shit that likes to slut shame over the internet because he can't keep up with the modern day sex life. Nice dude.
😂😂nice on a serious note I agree w what he said. what your boy was doing was just being polite. prob thinks your special too
HAHA, the truth hurts huh Stephanie you're prob easy 2 good luck with that. Only a NEEDY wuss would care about some girl who he gets easy pussy from without really even knowing or caring about her. Yup, call it sluts or easy or how about just plain DUMB lol. Who cares about you if you have sex, yup like I said a NEEDY WEAK MAN will care, but a REAL man will find a REAL girl with a real life who doesn't have the time to sleep around randomly lol
Just one of the ways to express love if properly executed
He likes you a lot. He's trying to play it cool so you don't think he's desperate.
I've only held hands while sleeping with one girl, and I loved her.
sounds like he wants more
Hmmm that's quite unusual
I think he wants u
Girl, your getting played. I hate to break it to you. I've been in the same situation as you. Get out while you can
I think he has some interest... When I was just a booty call the guy wouldn't give me the satisfaction of cuddling. He'd get what he wanted and go.
he's interested
He might like you and want more but how much further can your relationship grow when you started with hooking up? Be careful I guess.
The problem with modern "relationships," in a nutshell: no communication, regardless of how physically intimate you've gotten with someone, be it either out of fear of getting hurt or potentially losing the opportunity to get in the pants of someone better.
You shouldn't have to turn to strangers on the Internet to figure out what it means when he "looks you in the eye during sex," but just for the hell of it? He takes pleasure from such quiet, intimate interaction. It may well signal a desire for something more meaningful than a "booty call," but it'll depend on you actually opening up and *talking* to each other about your expectations out of this. Yes, there are risks to opening up. Don't fear it, embrace it. Nobody ever fell in love without being a little brave.
he likes you but need to grow a pair
I can say, with 100percent confidence, that you are just an outlet for his spunk!
